So you get the engine to TDC, lock the crank, undo cam pulley bolts and pop off the taper so they can turn freely, refit bolt but loose so pulleys can still move freely, remove belt, fit new belt and tensioner (with locking pin still fitted), install cam locking tool, remove tensioner locking pin, torque up cam pulleys, remove locking tools and rotate engine twice checking all marks are correct.

I have the tool and it was only £60 from a place in Wales, I'd lend it but Guildford is probably a bit far from you. Tensioner is recomended every second belt change which mine was. Even if you dont replace it you still have to retension the belt so you cant do the job without the tool.

I didnt have a crank lock tool but it stays pretty still and as long as you check its in the right position before you tighten up the cam bolts its fine.

The belt kit I bought was only £154.99 according to me ebay purchase history and included the tensioner pulley and the tensioner piston which is often refered to as the vibration damper. There are 2 types of kit available, with and without the damper so you have to cross check the part number of the kit with the manufacturers website to see what you are getting. Cheapest I can find on ebay now is just over £200.

i tried PW and they not got any as they on back order. so ive searched the net and tried several companies all had none in stock.

Eventually found this place Sealey & Draper Tools - CCW-Tools and they checked with sealey to see if they had stock as it comes straight from the factory. They had and i paid for next day courier so will be here tomorrow. Bloke on the phone was really helpful and plesant to deal with, and rang me back to keep me informed etc, much better than some of the people i called.........manners doesnt cost anything and some of these sales people should learn that
